Song of the Wren

Lyrics

(Native American folk song, Pawnee)

Ke-chi ra-ku-wa-ku whe ke re re we chi,
Ke-chi ra-ku-wa-ku whe ke re re we chi,
Ke-chi ra-ku-wa-ku whe ke re re we chi,
Ke-chi ra-ku-wa-ku whe ke re re we chi,
Ke-chi ra-ku-wa-ku whe ke re re we chi,
Ke-chi ra-ku-wa-ku whe ke re re we chi.

Translation Notes

Most of the lyrics are vocables with no meaning, except for the Pawnee word for “wren.” (source) This website lists “caktákiriʾ” as the Pawnee word for “wren.”
